Be Your Own Bully Guard - Wear Your Bully Proof Vest!





“Putting an End to Children's Bullying Conflicts” 

Does Your Child Have a BULLYPROOF Vest?

The Schoolyard Bullying Solution


Phoenix Arizona Martial Arts Master John Nottingham and his team of Black Belt instructors are teaching an evidence based new technique for dealing with bullying.  It's called THE BULLY-PROOF VEST.  Developed in 1992, it has been continually updated and refined to include cyber-bullying and other current trends.   The Bully Proof Vest program teaches children the skills they need for HOW TO DEAL WITH BULLYING - often without fighting or violence.  

How To Deal With Bullying Behavior
Nottingham says his approach is highly practical, unlike some of the other academic and politically motivated "anti-bully" programs out there.  Furthermore it does not send mixed messages to children about dangerous situations.  It is a common sense approach to protecting children and equipping them with the tools they need to detect, deter, de-escalate and defend themselves.

We Don't Promote Dangerous Unpractical Myths As "Just Walk Away" or "Just Ignore It".  Those misguided approaches have caused children to be hurt.  Denial is never a sound self defense strategy. Instead we prepare children to recognize, predict and prevent bullying situations from starting - many times by befriending the child engaged in bullying behavior.
Nottingham, owner of Nottingham Sword & Shield Security, ScottsdaleBodyguard.com and USA Martial Arts has over 25 of experience helping thousands of boys and girls successfully deal with bullying.  He developed The Arizona Bullying Intervention Initiative - The AZ Bully Prevention Project to teach children, parents and teachers bodyguard skills to prepare, prevent bullying and promote peaceful resolutions to conflict.  

We accomplish this without encroaching on constitutional free speech rights, nor by vilifying children with labels such as "bully".  Bullying is a behavior, a cry for help from a child.  Our approach helps children learn life skills and lessons that will not only help them have more confidence in resolving bullying situations but help keep them safe for the rest of their lives.   

Nottingham and representatives from his Bodyguard group and Black Belts from his school are offering a series of FREE Bully Proof Vest Workshops for Phoenix Arizona Children, Parents and Teachers.

"We're providing information from the protective fields from which they would normally never have access.  The Bully Proof Vest program teaches a highly effective and proven 3 pronged, 5 step method.  It includes what we call THE THREE SHIELDS, as part of a childs vest.  It protects from the various kinds of bullying and helps children put things into perspective to ACT rather than REACT.", said Nottingham

Bullies To Buddies | How To Defeat a Bully Without Fighting
A 5 Step 3 Pronged Assertiveness and Bully Proof Course

Designed for Children in part by leading training experts!

Everyday our kids are in EXPOSURE ZONES where inappropriate and often violent behavior occurs. This course teaches children how to handle the various difficult situations that arise everyday.

In a fun and lively environment, this program addresses the following:



Dealing With Bullies:


  • Playground altercations
  • How to handle name calling and teasing
  • Protecting personal “space” and possessions
  • Setting boundaries against inappropriate touch or attention
  • Assessing appropriate defense and how NOT to start a fight
  • How to physically break away and escape the grasp of a would be abductor

Children gain CONFIDENCE with the new assertive choices they learn to apply in a wide variety of situations. Our students are less likely to react out of anger or fear, or have to use physical resistance after asserting proper awareness skills and appropriate de-escalation behavior. This course is invaluable to help kids deal with bullies that are taking advantage of the zero tolerance rules at school!
